Just when you thought you couldn’t have any more food options at Westfield UTC, Tocaya Organica announced it was coming to town. 
The “modern Mexican cuisine” casual dining restaurant is opening its 11th location on Jan. 30. “La Jolla is a natural spot for the next Tocaya Organica,” says founder and CEO Tosh Berman. “Between the vibrant University and the beachside neighborhoods, this community is ready to embrace Tocaya’s chef-driven, health-focused philosophy. After opening in the heart of the Gaslamp quarter, we are excited to bring a great dining experience for all ages and dietary preferences to a lively location like Westfield UTC.”
Using high-quality ingredients and bold flavors, the menu offers up delicious bowls, burritos, tacos, and salads. Fan favorites at their other California and Arizona locations include the fajita del ray bowl, the Tocaya salad and the Baja taco with halibut and jalapeño jack.
For those looking for something on the lighter side, Tocaya Organica has chips and salsa, sweet corn tamales, barrio fruit bowls and guacamole topped with pomegranate seeds. They also serve iced teas or Aguas frescas in flavors like coconut ginger green tea and watermelon limeade in addition to some specialty cocktails.
